Story of a 21 yrd old girl from an traditional orthodox family..

Here is what I would call as the autobiography of a 21yrd old girl who is born and brought up in a traditional orthodox tamil ieyr family. Lets call her ‘no-name‘

 

On her 21st bday, ‘no-name‘s parents start having this big tension about her wedding. Yea, according to her 21yr girl should have got married long back and should have had couple of kids. The relatives and the neighbours who come in the scene now and play their role and aggrevate the pain of the parents. If after all these, the no-name continues with her education, I will call it bravery.

 

Well, she is not given any more time beyond 23yrs. From somewhere there comes an alliance which the entire family, neighbourhood think is the best for the no-name. In today’s world they defenitely pretend as if they are doing anything by asking no-name’s opinion, but ideally that doesnt happen. She is pressurized in all forms by all people in all directions that she thinks getting married is much easier thing to do.

 

So our no-name gets married to this stranger prince. As she enters her first night dream place, all her relatives will recite the matra in her ears: "Listen- you are already 23yrs old. Its high time you become a mother soon". C’mon is that something you tell a person who is entering her first night of married life??

 

First month of marriage: Life is not as simple as it is. No-name who now stays with her in-laws is now a full fledged a maid also. The family calls out that no-name is like their daughtera Ina-Mina-Dika and that is absolute true. No-name is LIKE their daughter and not their daughter and so there is little difference:). 

 

Three monts after marriage: The charming prince is slowly loosing his lust on no-name and is back to his busy world to get more money. The family, friends and jobless neighbourhood is back on the stage with their biggest concern: Why is no-name not yet pregnant? Three months is a long time given to no-name to get closer to her stranger prince. People even recommend her to consult gynaecologist to test her motherhood. Pressure builds up and no-name gets pregnant as thats is easy thing to do than answer these gazillion people around her.

 

No-name celebrates her first wedding anniverssary with their 5 day old baby girl (How thoughtful were the family and friends and neighbourhood, right). The kid is born with the last name as his fathers name. The mother who carried the kid for 9 months is given some credits by having her name in the child’s birth certificate.

 

The family, friends and neighbours do not stop here. No-name has given birth to a girl, right. She has to get pregnant again..that too as soon as possible( remember she is already 24 yrs old!!!).

 

In less than 3 months, our dear no-name is pregnant again. This time everyone is sure about one thing: this time she HAS to give birth to a baby boy. People believe that no-name is a child giving machine and who can choose the gender based on the options available. A wait time of 9 months and a baby boy is born (thank god.. its baby boy or no-name have to undergo the manufacturing process again and again..till a boy is born) and the proud father has his name as the son’s last name.

 

Kids grow up and mom is out of scene. Dad gives the best education to his son and the daughter is given good education. Now the daughter is 21 yrs old and the story continues…
